Hey Fellow F10ers. I am considering buying these wheels.


[-MHT Niche Sport Circuit M108 wheels. Staggered front and rear.
-Front: 20x8.5J, ET 25. Rear: 20x10.5J, ET 27.
-Nexen 3000 tires mounted, 285/30/ZR20 rear, and 245/35/ZR20 front.

I purchased the whole set new in September of 2011 and mounted them on a 2009 Mercedes CLS550. A month and about a thousand km later I removed them, and they haven’t been used since.

$1000 for the set; rims and tires]

What do you think.
1- Are they any good? Have you seen anyone use them on F10? If yes photos pls.
2- Is the staggered combination (245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear) good for XDrive? There is a .5 mm difference in total height of the set.

Hey, I can't speak for these wheels but I was recently shopping around for new wheels myself and I came across some Niche wheels I was interested in. I did a little bit of research about them and it sounds like they're ok quality but Niche in general seems to have a reputation for being popular with the ghetto fab crowd. The wheels I saw seemed pretty low key but I found a guy who said he liked his Niche wheels but wishes he had gone with a similar looking Avant Garde set and I actually ended up liking the AV set even more. AVs are not top of the line but they are pretty common and tested out in the BMW community so I also feel a little more comfortable getting those. The Niches I was looking at were different from these but your wheels look similar to the AV M590s.

Hi Zaman, I ran those tire sizes this summer with no problems at all on x-drive. I'm close by as well if you ever want to check out the offsets and how they would look. I posted one pic in the picture section of the forum if you want to see for yourself.

Are you thinking of re-drilling these to fit your F10? Being that these came off of a MBZ CLS (5x112) and possibly going on your BMW F10 (5x120) thats a pretty large variation on the re drill.

Just something to think of... also, the rear maybe pretty aggressive for your F10.

Hey DocOct,
We should get together sometimes. I'll go and check your pic.

I am not sure about that, I should take a look.
Thanks for the heads up.
